The Crofton Airshed Citizens Group (CACG) is a group of citizens
of the Crofton area in British Columbia, Canada who have come together
over concerns about the air emissions of the Catalyst Crofton pulp
mill situated in the town of Crofton.
1. CACG is a working group of local volunteers
who are concerned about toxic emissions from the Crofton pulp and paper
mill. Participation is open to anyone living in the Crofton mill
airshed who agrees with the CACG constitution and who wishes to further
its goals.
2. CACG exists to advocate for the adoption of
best possible technologies to identify, monitor, and reduce pollution
from the Crofton mill, and to advocate for the adoption of policies
leading to the deployment of such technologies.
3. CACG believes that its objectives are shared
by Catalyst and its employees in that reduced pollution improves
the long-term viability of industry and provides better working
conditions and greater job security for employees.
4. CACG recognizes that air emissions from all
sources are additive. All sources within an airshed need to be included
when assessing health impacts, and toxic emissions reduction strategies
are needed for all sources.
5. CACG positions are precautionary and
science-based, being supported on a regular basis by independent
scientists, consultants and current research.
